BEAUTY: FESTIVE GLAMOUR

If you know how to use eyeliner then you can execute this one, no problem. Grab that shadow palette and find that one colour you can never seem to use NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette in 04 Brights, NARS’ Outremer and Domination are bold and beautiful. If shadow is too intimidating, then an eye pencil like Dior's Diorshow Pro Liner in Matte Lime or Matte Orange will do the trick, too.

If you can execute a decent smokey eye for your nights out year-round, now’s the perfect occasion to test out a dramatic overlay, no extra tools needed. Whether you use a cream shadow or a powder one, choose something glittery and pigmented, like Hourglass’ Scattered Light Glitter EyeShadow, and then use your fourth finger to dab it onto your top lid. Use a brush to blend the edges into your smokey eye, add a pop of highlight to your inner corner and you’re good to go.

The key to doing glitter lips isn’t in the glitter; it’s in the prep. The perfect canvas can be achieved by using a lip scrub like By Terry’s Baume de Rose Le Gommage Levres and then nourishing with a good serum or balm ( you can’t go wrong with La Mer’s The Lip Balm). Line your lips, apply lipstick and finish with loose glitter.
